This is an assignment which I've submitted as a part of an online course "Global Warming: The Science of Climate Change" offered by the University of Chicago.
I have focused my assignment on interpreting the data from meteorological stations located within the Himalayas and the Tibetan Plateau.
This region is significant as 1.3 billion people i.e 20% of the world's population is dependent either directly or indirectly on the Himalayan glaciers. The Himalayas supply freshwater to 8 South-Asian countries, including two of the most populous countries in the world i.e China and India. Any catastrophic change in the Himalayan climate is sure to effect the culture and demography of the area and the political scenario of the world.
